<p>Also: Tony Gonsolin reports to camp, Kenley Jansen in “good spirits”</p> <p id="lwwztX">LOS ANGELES — The <a href="https://www.truebluela.com/">Dodgers</a> added newly drafted outfielder Jake Vogel and minor league pitcher Brett de Geus to their club player pool on Thursday.</p>
<p id="X8Fi0W">In other news, <span>Tony Gonsolin</span> reported to camp on Wednesday, leaving six players on the 40-man roster who haven’t reported to Dodger Stadium.</p>
<p id="4ARWgf">One of those is <span>Kenley Jansen</span>, who is still out, though manager <span>Dave Roberts</span> is hopeful he will join the team soon after talking with his closer Wednesday night.</p>
<p id="cfZfL4">“He’s in really good spirits, feeling good,” Roberts said on a Zoom conference call with reporters.</p>
<p id="m1W7aG">Roberts wouldn’t say who would close games for the Dodgers if Jansen isn’t ready by opening day.</p>
<p id="MpbaRj">“I think we have some viable candidates for that, but I haven’t entertain that. Kenley is our guy, and I expect him to be back,” Roberts said. “But yeah, if it doesn’t happen for some unforeseen reason, then we can certainly adjust.”</p>
<h3 id="cHdOvE">The new folks</h3>
<p id="GLTstC">Vogel was the Dodgers’ third-round pick out of Huntington Beach High School <a href="https://www.truebluela.com/mlb-draft/2020/7/3/21296374/dodgers-sign-jake-vogel-mlb-draft">who signed on July 3</a>.</p>
<p id="Nx4VHZ">The lone high school selection among the six Dodgers draftees this year, Vogel — who vice president of amateur scouting Billy Gasparino called a “dynamic athlete” — was their most raw pick, and adding him to the player pool gives the outfielder reps and access to coaches in a structured setting that is otherwise lacking with no minor league season in 2020.</p>
<p id="BrpulH">“Our player development guys are champing at the bit to get a hold of him,” Gasparino said in June. “They think as an athlete, his hand-eye coordination, and the ability to move his body so fast is going to take off with some instruction.”</p>
<p id="sKie7i">Vogel doesn’t turn 19 until Oct. 12. He’s the youngest Dodger in the player pool, 35 days younger than catcher Diego Cartaya.</p>
<p id="yZOLGF">Speaking of Cartaya, if you want an idea what the alternate training camp at USC is like, here you go:</p>

<p id="OwKNIg">The signing bonus of $1,622,500 is well over than the recommended slot value of $581,600 for the 100th overall pick, which represents the leverage highly-regarded high school players with a college commitment have in the draft. </p>
<p id="voDHkJ">The Dodgers have now signed five of their six picks, leaving only Competitive Balance Round B pick, pitcher Clayton Beeter out of Texas Tech left to sign. After Vogel, the Dodgers <a href="https://www.truebluela.com/mlb-draft/2020/6/10/21276370/2020-mlb-draft-tracker-dodgers">are $102,400 over their total recommended slot values</a>, which would work out to 1.7 percent over the full bonus pool. That leaves them up to $1,197,319 to sign Beeter without going five percent over, which would incur a future draft pick penalty. Beeter’s slot value at No. 66 overall is $1,003,300.</p>

Dodgers vice president of amateur scouting Billy Gasparino <a href="https://www.truebluela.com/mlb-draft/2020/6/15/21289261/mlb-draft-jake-vogel-dodgers-speed">called Vogel a “dynamic athlete”</a> and said the organization’s development staff praised his hitting tools.</p>
<p id="5AlkWC">“He’s got power,” Gasparino said on draft night. “He’s a physically gifted kid who missed some of last summer with a back injury, but came out this fall and early spring and performed really well and really shot up our board.”</p>
<p id="sZFg9I">Vogel hit .350 with 46 extra-base hits and 31 steals in 74 varsity games with Huntington Beach, <a href="https://www.latimes.com/socal/daily-pilot/sports/story/2020-06-12/huntington-beachs-jake-vogel-selected-by-dodgers-in-mlb-draft">per Andrew Turner of the Los Angeles Times</a>. That included hitting for the cycle in his last game of 2020, and almost hitting another, his head coach Benji Medure told Turner:</p>
<blockquote><p id="ssZTk0"><em>“We played Corona del Mar the Friday before that,” Medure said. “He was three for four, and he missed the cycle by a double, so he was seven for his last eight, and he almost hit for two cycles, was his final sendoff in high school. That’s pretty cool. That is about as good as you can end your career right there.</em></p></blockquote>

<p id="mw46tx">LOS ANGELES — The only high school player drafted by the <a href="https://www.truebluela.com/">Dodgers</a> in 2020 might already be the fastest player in the organization. If they can sign Huntington Beach outfielder Jake Vogel, that is.</p>
<p id="r9QaLJ">“If he’s not the top, he’s in the top two or three,” Dodgers vice president of amateur scouting Billy Gasparino said of their third-round pick last week. “This is running back, sprinter speed. Strong, explosive powerful strides. He can really get after it.”</p>
<p id="AsGmNW">Pre-draft scouting reports all praised Vogel’s speed, with Keith Law at The Athletic <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516590&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftheathletic.com%2F1850996%2F2020%2F06%2F06%2Fkeith-laws-big-board-ranking-the-2020-mlb-drafts-top-100-prospects%2F&referrer=sbnation.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.truebluela.com%2Fmlb-draft%2F2020%2F6%2F15%2F21289261%2Fmlb-draft-jake-vogel-dodgers-speed" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">rating it a 70 on the 20-80 scouting scale</a>, and <a href="https://www.mlb.com/prospects/draft/jake-vogel-691949">MLB.com saying</a>, “Vogel is one of the fastest guys in the Draft class, occasionally recording 80 run times.” Gasparino labeled Vogel “a dynamic athlete.”</p>
<aside id="TnGbH2"><div data-anthem-component="readmore" data-anthem-component-data='{"stories":[{"title":"Dodgers draft CF Jake Vogel in the 3rd round","url":"https://www.truebluela.com/mlb-draft/2020/6/11/21282687/2020-mlb-draft-third-round-dodgers-jake-vogel"},{"title":"Dodgers 2020 draft tracker","url":"https://www.truebluela.com/mlb-draft/2020/6/10/21276370/2020-mlb-draft-tracker-dodgers"}]}'></div></aside><p id="q8Uws9">“He’s a 70 runner with a big arm, plus center field defense. He’s got power,” Gasparino said. “He’s a physically gifted kid who missed some of last summer with a back injury, but came out this fall and early spring and performed really well and really shot up our board.”</p>
<p id="acUkAb"> The knock on Vogel is his size, listed on multiple sites as 5’11, 165 pounds.</p>
<p id="u0wXLT">Huntington Beach coach Benji Medure had a comp for Vogel, <a href="https://www.ocregister.com/2020/06/11/huntington-beachs-jake-vogel-santa-margaritas-milan-tolentino-taken-on-day-2-of-mlb-draft/">per Steve Fryer of the Orange County Register</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p id="RphcF5"><em>“Like McCutchen (5-11, 195), Jake’s kind of undersized,” Medure said. “But he runs well and hits for power and steals bags and throws people out. We’ve never before had a guy like this kid, with his different kind of speed and explosiveness.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p id="36xxFf">“We think we’re going to develop him more as a guy who can go to all fields. He’s got really good timing,” Gasparino said. “He’s got a hand flick to his finish that really creates a lot of power for his size. We have a few clean-up issues with his load and path, and our player development guys are champing at the bit to get a hold of him. They think as an athlete, his hand-eye coordination, and the ability to move his body so fast is going to take off with some instruction.”</p>
<p id="MRopQ4">But to get Vogel in the hands of the Dodgers player development department, first they have to convince him to turn professional rather than attend UCLA. They will likely have the room to go over <a href="https://www.truebluela.com/mlb-draft/2020/5/8/21246106/2020-mlb-draft-details-dodgers-5-rounds">the recommended slot value of $581,600 for the 100th overall pick</a> thanks to below-slot deals elsewhere. The Dodgers <a href="https://www.truebluela.com/mlb-draft/2020/6/14/21290761/dodgers-sign-gavin-stone-mlb-draft">already signed fifth-round pick Gavin Stone for a reported $100,000</a>, which is $227,200 under his slot value.</p>
<p id="3YksTx">Despite his relatively small size, Gasparino thinks Vogel will stick in center field in the majors.</p>
<p id="aZG1rW">“I think it’s one of his strengths. He’s a really good defender now. I think he’ll get better. I think his reads, his instincts, his southern Cal experience, he’s a very polished player,” Gasparino said. “The Huntington Beach program is outstanding. They play all the top schools. We think his speed is going to last for a while and age well.”</p>
